Henry: can I hug you? 

Samuel: no please... 

Henry: hmmm babe.. its fine.. 

He said and stood up from the bed and left the room... 

Samuel: exhaled deeply... 

Some minutes later Henry left for work..

Throughout that day Samuel was indoor. As he was obeying all what Henry's mom said to him.. 

Even though it wasn't easy he just had to do it.. .Henry on the other hand was obeying what samuelnsaid to him to..

They stopped communicating.. 

A week after that, Henry couldn't continue with what samuel said to him.. he was missing him so badly and wanted to talk, hug and kiss him.. he waited for the night time to come. When his parents are sleeping already.. 

He went to Samuel's door and knocked.. 

Samuel: who is there? 

Henry: kept quiet..

Samuel: hello.. who is there? 

Henry: still kept quiet.. 

Samuel: Henry i know its you. Go back to your room..

Henry: why are you treating me this way? Please open the door let talk for 5 minutes i just want to see your face.. I haven't seen you for a week now.. you're always indoor.. anytime I come back from work.. 

Samuel: go and sleep Henry.. we already spoke about this before.. 

Henry: is it that easy for you? Huh? Baby.. is that easy? I mean am I the only one longing for this? You are not feeling this way? 

Samuel: good night!

Henry: baby.. if you love me truly come out of your room and hug me now.. and if you don't do so. It means you never loved me.. he said calmly with a sweet sobering voice tone

Samuel: kept mute..

Henry: I'll count from 10 below.. 

Samuel if you love me come out and see me.. just hug me and I'll be fine.. 

All I want and I need now is just for you to hùg me please... nothing more just hùg me.. prove you still love me by doing this... he said calmly 

Samuel: almost wanted to open the door but remembered what he agreed with Henry's mom.. 

Then he stopped 

Henry: 10, 9, 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

Baby please 😭😭😭... he said as he stopped counting. 

Samuel: rested his back on the wall... feeling bad that he couldn't open the door.. 

Henry: its fine.. I know you can hear all what I'm saying.. I know you love me and I love you too.. but just know that you have hùrt me feelings so bàd and 8 hope I can heal from this quickly.. from now.. I won't bother again... do what you like and as you pleases.. Good night.. he said angrilyy and left... 

Samuel: hmmm... only if you know how difficult this is for me.. I wonder what he will do if he finds out im leaving him for good... he said in his mind while hìttìng his hands on the wall slowly and calmly... 

Scene 3... the following morning.. ( Henry and Samuel)

Immediately Henry was coming out of his room.. he bumped on Samuel as their eyes met.. 

Henry: paused and looked Samuel.. 

Samuel: did the same thing.. 

They looked at themselves for few seconds before Henry removed his eyes and walk pass him to the kitchen..

Samuel: I'm sorry for last night.. he said quietly as Henry passed.. 

Henry: ignored and left... 

Samuel: hmmm... then gave a deep sigh... then followed him to the kitchen.. 

Samuel: Henry can we talk please.. just a minute 

Henry: ignored him, open the fridge and took a bottle of water and was about leaving.. 

Samuel: please its about my mom! 

Henry: the he stopped immediately he heard that.. without saying anything 

Samuel: please can you help me go check on her? Please that is all I want to say to you.. please 

Henry: kept quiet and left the kitchen without saying anything... 

Samuel: i hope he does that... he said in his mind as he watch Henry leaves... 

Then his phone rang.. 

He quickly checked and saw it was lola his younger sister..

On call.. 

Samuel: hello baby girl... what is going on. How is mom.. 

Lola: mom is not getting better oo.. we took her to another hospital again.. and its getting worse.. you need to come here i can do this alone..

Around evening hours later he went and met Henry's mom at the living room.. 

Samuel: good day ma.. 

Mom: yes? What is it? 

Samuel: ma please I want to ask for your permission 

Mom: if you're planning on leaving this house. Its a no! 

Samuel: can you hear me out please?

Then Henry walks in.. 

Mom: good. Welcome my son..

Listen to what this boy is saying.. he said he wants to quit his job..

Samuel: i never said that ma.. I only ask for permission to go see my mom.. she's sìck.. 

Henry: listen to the both of them and just ignored and left them.. looking unbothered.. 

Mom: you can see right? He doesn't want you to go.. that means it's a no!.. 

But if you still insist you can go.. just know that you will lose your job.. and no payment if you don't do a full month work. 

Samuel: ma, this about my mom... you're a mother too.. 

Mom: are you trying to insùlt me or what? Are you saying I'm wickedd? 

Samuel: no ma.. please just allow me go. The 3 days off can be deducted from my pay..

Mom: don't you get it i said no! 

Samuel: fell on his knees.. pleading.. 

Henry was inside his room hearing how he was pleading but he ignored..

Henry: you told me not to interfare...and i won't that.. deal with your self... he said in his mind while listening to how Samuel was begging his mom... 

The following day he still went ahead and begged Henry's mom to allow him go but she refused.. he sent Henry text messages to help him convince his mom but there was no response from him..

Scene 4... the following day.. 

Around 7pm... everybody was home except Henry's dad.. 

Samuel was carrying baby kelvin at his back while doing the dishes in the kitchen when his phone began to ring.. 

Mom: you should be keeping your phone in your room not in the kitchen

Samuel: sorry ma.. he said as he quickly checked who was calling and saw that it was his sister.. 

Then he tried picking the call

Mom: I said keep that phone away.. she shoutéd..

Samuel: dropped the phone..

His sister continues to calm but he couldn't pick.. 

Samuel: God please i just hope all is well... he said in his mind while working 

Immediately Henry's mom left the kitchen to do something else where..

He quickly carried his phone and called his sister.. ( he clean up the sweat on his face due to the heat from the kitchen)

It rang twice but she didn't pick up.. 

Then she picked up the third time 

On call..

Lola: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 crying so loud...

Henry: Jesussss 😳😳😳... he said in his mind as he heard what Samuel said... 

Samuel immediately ran out of the kitchen to his room to get his wallet... he dropped baby kelvin who was asleep on the bed and ran out... and met with Henry at the living room...

Samuel: his eyes filled with tears... 

Henry: looking at samuel but couldn't say anything.. he stood still feeling so much quilt in him.. 

Samuel: mommy ooo... my mommy oo... she's the only person I have God.. God ooo she's the only one I have ooo

Henry: Jesussss is true? He said as he followed Samuel out immediately... 

Wait wait let go together, let me take you there.. you might not see a taxi.. 

Then he rushed back inside to get his car key... he came out with speed of light as both of them entered the car and drove off.. 

While going... 

Samuel; my mummy ooo😭😭😭 

Mom ooo... God please she is the only person I have oo.... God don't take her o.. please.. he said while crying so loudly inside the car.. while Henry was driving so fast without even asking for the location... 

Samuel: bla bla bla hospital... he said to Henry as he continues to cry... 

Henry: God please let it not be true... he said in his mind as he continues to drive very fast... 

Few minutes later they got to the hospital.. 

Samuel ran inside immediately and met his sister and brother sitting on the floor crying... 

He paused! Its true.. its true.. mom is gone! My mom is gone? He said slowly as his eyes met with his siblings..

Lola stood up and ran to hug Samuel while crying so loud.. 

Henry: Jesussss its true...that woman is gone... 

Then he rested his body on the wall remembering how he first Samuel mom and how she smiled and welcomed him so nicely.. everything came to his head fresh.. he couldn't hold back as tears also began to drop from his eyes.. 

Lola and Samuel still crying while hugging them selves... while people around tried to console them.. 

Then one of the nurse came..

Nurse: please you guys should reduce your cry o.. there are other people here.. 

They ignored him and continue crying.. 

Then lola saw Henry.. 

Lola: uncle Henry.. 

Henry: turned and looked at her.. 

Lola: i thought my brother said you will come check on my mom? I waited for you.. 

Henry: his heart bèàting fast.. 

Samuel: turned and looked at Henry.. 

Henry is that true? You didn't come to see my mom? He asked as fresh tears began to flow from his eyes.. 

Henry: sweating hard and looking at them with so much quilt in him..

Samuel: answer me please Henry.. I beg you please answer me.. don't tell you didn't come.. he said as his voice was shaking and his lips was vibrating.. 

Heney: sam! I was...sorry I mean..

Samuel: 😭😭😭😭😭 wow... you're so evìl and wickedd Henry... my mom showed you nothing but love and just this once that I ask you to help me check on her you refused? He said and busted into tears again..

Henry: tears rolling down from his eyes slowly.... he couldn't say anything 

He couldn't defend himself... he had nothing to say.. nothing could justify his actions...

Then Samuel's brother came...

Bro please leave here.. you don't have the right to be here.. he said to Henry.. 

Henry: turned back and left the ward quietly... nothing he could say... 

He reach outside.. placed his head on the wall crying so bitterly and quietly...
